EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a peanut, scientifically known as Arachis hypogaea. Captured by Corsi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). The artist, Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, skillfully directed and drew this illustration which was later published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy in 1837. Turpin's exceptional talent earned him recognition as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators during the 19th century. In this print, every detail of the peanut is meticulously depicted - from its shell to its unique shape and texture. The vibrant colors used bring life to this humble legume that has become a staple food worldwide. Known by various names such as groundnut or monkey nut, Arachis hypogaea holds great significance not only for its culinary uses but also for its nutritional value. This edible plant belongs to the pea family and provides an excellent source of protein and healthy fats. As we admire this exquisite botanical illustration, let us appreciate nature's artistry and marvel at how even seemingly ordinary objects can possess extraordinary beauty when observed closely.
